On March 11, we took Annabelle to Plainview to have Dr. Kopp operate on her blocked tear duct. She has had the problem since she was itty bitty, but it had gotten progressively worse. Our pediatrician said that if it wasn't gone by one year, she would need surgery. Dr. Kopp is a friend of my fabulous sister-in-law, Beth, and she got the ball rolling for us.
So, we had a few visits to Plainview and set the date for surgery. Here is her before shot...
This is how I would find her after a nap or waking from the night. Her eye would be glued shut with goo and it was so sad. Though, it never seemed to bother her.
This was just days before the surgery.
Here are a few pics from the day of surgery...

And this is what we have seen everyday since...
Wide-eyed and beautiful! And she has to be happy that I am not digging at her eye all the time.
We went back to the doc today for a follow up and he said she looks perfect and that the surgery worked!
Praise God!!
